Chinese Capital Scraps Bullfights

Organizers have scrapped plans to hold bullfights in Beijing after complaints that the event would be cruel to animals, Chinese media reported Friday.


The first bullfight was to have taken place May 1 in a new 6,400-seat bullring billed as the biggest in Asia.

But members of the Beijing city council complained that the fights would be inhumane and have 'the potential to tarnish Beijing's and China's image,' China Radio International reported. They called such events 'uncultured in Chinese tradition.'

Yeah, killing and torturing people is more the Chinese tradition.
